108. Slander

In a silent and delicate atmosphere.

Bonnivel stood there with a scepter in hand, like a god, judging the guilty.

She just looked down at Denaren, kneeling at her feet, kissing her boots, unmoved, as if thinking about what to measure.

Seeing that the Pope did not immediately punish him, Denaren saw hope, and in order to maintain his rights and interests in this life, he completely left behind what honor and what limits.

Kneeling on his cheeks, he didn't dare to lift his eyes in the slightest, let alone look at anyone in the Holy See.

He just kept throwing his chips, losing all his dignity as a prince, begging the Pope to take him in and fulfill him.

"I will be more sincere than a loyal dog, more loyal to the gods than anyone but you, please give me a chance to mend my ways!

Please!

I confess all my sins, that I have failed my people, that I have failed the gods, that I have lost the faith of a righteous king for my own selfishness.

But that's why I should saddle up and clear the obstacles for you, and spend my life atoning for your sins!

When I become king, I will be more kind to my people than any other king, and I will follow your instructions to reduce the taxes of the common people to a minimum.

Be willing to be the voice of your people, cleanse yourself from all sin in the Kingdom, and be fully committed to the arms of the church.

Please, Your Crown, Bonneville, and give me, a sincerely repentant sinner, a chance to mend a leaf! ”

Bonnyville watched in silence.

That's right.

At first, she really wasn't ready to crown Leonard.

What he did was not at all worthy of a worthy king.

The good name won by some people, the element of acting, is more important than sincerity for the welfare of the common people and believers.

He even assassinated his two brothers for his own selfishness, and poisoned the former queen away.

The taxes siphoned off from the civilian population are enough to feed an army, and the lives of people are not known.

He thought he was doing something secretive.

But the church's censorship mechanism is always on the lookout for these kingdom heirs.

In order to ensure that they are worthy of their place, all the information they have will be presented at Bonnyvale's table.

Perhaps there are a few people who can hide from the church by doing extremely secret things.

But it is impossible for a person to disguise himself as a saint for a lifetime, and if he disguises himself for a lifetime, then he is no different from a saint.

Paper can't hold the fire, and everything Denaren has done is enough for Bonnyville to put him on trial and strip him of his rightful heirship.

But now, seeing such a frightened Denaren, Bonnivale's mood has changed somewhat.

Her aim was always to reduce the power of the royal family and the nobility to take it, to reduce taxes, and eventually to abolish the hereditary system.

She is never soft on the ministers of sin.

Although the actual situation is taken into account, there is no blame for the petty sins of some people who have made great contributions.

But the truly heinous sinners have never been forgiven by her.

However, Denaren's move does seem to be a win-win situation.

No, it's a unilateral win for the church.

Denaren will gradually be overshadowed by her, and he may continue his extravagant life in his lifetime.

But only finally this generation.

With his beginning, the people below saw the tolerance of the church and the richness of the kingdom controlled by the church, and naturally had their own choices.

This is a signal that the extravagance of hereditary and powerful people to all subjects on the mainland may become a thing of the past.

The other kingdoms will certainly be cautious, but they are not yet in full swing, and even if they are to cultivate high-level seeers and win the hearts and minds of the people, it will take several generations of efforts to form a power to compete with the church.

And before that, with Denaren's origin, he may have gathered the hearts of the people at the bottom, and the rest of the gloomy successors, because of Denaren's example, gradually favored themselves, and divided the kingdom's secret alliance.

Looking at Denaren, who no longer pleaded, but just put his head on the ground, waiting for the trial, Bonnivel laughed and said, "Your Highness, why should you be so excited, I didn't say that I would not crown you." ”

Denaren clenched his fists and hurriedly said, "I just made the right choice!" My sins deserve to be washed away here and forgiven by the gods! Bonnyville, accept my loyalty, I sincerely believe that your will is the root of the prosperity of the entire continent~"

Bonnyville smiled and said, "Since the prince has pleaded so much, then on behalf of the church and the gods, I will accept your sincerity, raise my head, and feel the weight of the crown and the king's responsibility." ”

Denaren straightened up excitedly, still keeping his head down, waiting for the Pope to impose the crown.

"Bang, Bonnyville crowns ......"

Cowbert, who was on the side, couldn't help but speak.

Bonnivel's eyes were deep, he looked at Cobbert, who raised his head slightly, looked at him, and said lightly: "Your Highness Coubert, do you have any opinions?" ”

Corbett gritted his teeth, but still said the words in his heart, "However, Denaren is deeply guilty, and if you impose a crown on him, it will be contrary to the belief that you have always adhered to, and it may cause a blow to the reputation of the church.

He himself said that he was not a worthy king, but just begged for your alms, and his sins, if they were washed away so easily, I think...... I can't convince the public. ”

Bonneville said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Corbett is right, if Denaren's crime is really unforgivable, as the spokesman of the gods, I will punish him without the slightest mercy."

But......

It seems that the crimes of the two of you are no less than that of His Highness Denaren.

No one is perfect, and when you get to your place, it's hard not to get into some filth.

But I always uphold the principle of fairness and justice, and as long as there is more justice in your heart, I will not hesitate to forgive. ”

Corbett bowed his head and said: "We do have a stain on us, but it is far inferior to Denaren, he knelt down and begged for your forgiveness, he has already been frightened and confessed his unforgivable crime, I don't think you need to do this at all, for the sake of a criminal minister, tarnished your noble name." ”

Bonneville smiled: "I have already said that although he has a heart of forgiveness, he will not easily let a man who has committed the most heinous crimes, His Highness Denaren's crimes do not seem to be deeper than the two of you, he ...... It's just that before the temple, he couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience and chose to be sincere. ”

Denaren also reacted at this time, and immediately turned his head, looked at Corbett with a dangerous look, and said, "That's right! I'm just being sincere! My crimes, even lower than yours, are still confessing at the feet of Bonnivale, but the two of you, without the slightest intention of repenting, this is contempt for Bonnyville!

Do you think you can hide what you have done from her?

Absurd!

There is nothing in the world that can be hidden beneath her noble light!

Do you have any evidence that I am guilty of great crimes? If you have one, take it out!

Otherwise, I will accuse you of the sin of slandering the heir of the kingdom, and I will ask Bonnyville to take back your crown!" ”

Colbert's face turned pale.

Under Bonnyville's obscure gaze, the new king was defeated.

He bowed his head gloomily and said, "I am overdistanced, and I should not interfere with your judgment in Bonnyville, please forgive me." ”

Yes, even if we all know that Denaren is guilty, but what about the evidence?

No evidence!

Even if there were, there were only a few minor sins, which were mistakes that normal people would make!

The real big mistake, every heir, is well hidden!

Who but the Church has the strength and authority to investigate an heir to the Kingdom in an open and honest manner?

After being crowned, they may even become partners on the same front!

To offend an heir beforehand, who would be so stupid.

Sweeping the snow in front of the door and trying to maintain their image and mentality is enough for them to worry about!

So all the evidence is in the hands of the church alone!

No, it should be said, only in the hands of Pope Bonnivel!

As long as she doesn't choose to make it public, even if you know something, it's okay not to say it, and if you say it, it's a blatant slander!

Looking at Corbett, who lowered his head in disappointment, Bonniville smiled: "Those who don't know are not guilty, this is not a big sin, as long as you admit your mistakes, you are a good king of the mainland, I forgive you for your offense." ”

Colbert said silently, "Shebonniville's royal grace." ”

Boom!

Bonneville snapped his scepter and motioned for Denaren to bow his head.

She picked up the last tiara in the tray and put it on for Denaren, saying, "Observe the heart of justice, and remember the promise you made before the gods, otherwise you will not be able to imagine the price of deceiving the gods, and I will watch your every move instead of the secret terror." ”

Denaren's heart was ecstatic, but he suddenly tightened, and buried his head and said: "Maybe I was once ashamed of the people and gods, but from now on, I will be the best king of the continent, for the people and ...... You, give everything. ”

Around the body, a strange hue suddenly appeared, as if entering some mysterious space.

The two Corbetts in the afterglow didn't seem to notice the slightest abnormality, and still fell to their knees.

The heat in his ears brought Denaren back to his senses.

His tense body trembled.

No one has ever been so close to the Pope.

And the Pope himself leaned down, almost touching his own cheek.

This made Denaren honestly afraid.

Bonnyville said softly: "The evidence of the Holy See will be sealed, but your past sins will still not be completely erased, unless you ...... All those in the know disappear, including your princess. ”

Denaren's heart trembled, and he muttered, "Yes, yes......"

(PS、I feel like the starting point doesn't count.,Really,The day before yesterday I didn't update.,He showed me more than 5,000 per day.,After my fourth shift.,More than 10,000 words.,He still shows 5,000 per day.,After today's five shifts.,More than 10,000 words.,Still show 5,000 per day.,How is it possible.。
